Question

A flag is in the shape of a square each side is 3 1/2 feet long.What is the perimeter of the flag?

Answer 1

`\begin{equation*} 14\text{ ft} \end{equation*}`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the perimeter of the flag.

To do this, we have to apply the formula for the perimeter of a square:

`P=4L`

where L = length of the square

Therefore, by substituting the length of the flag into the formula, we have that its perimeter is:

`\begin{gathered} P=4*3(1)/(2) \\ \\ P=14\text{ ft} \end{gathered}`

That is the answer.
